WOONSOCKET, R.I. -- A 56-year-old Woonsocket man whose blood alcohol was more than twice the legal limit for driving was charged with driving under the influence early Friday, according to Police Chief Thomas F. Oates III.

Officer Kyle Bishop saw Thomas J. Dwyer, of Kenwood Avenue driving erratically on Cass Avenue just before 1 a.m., pulled him over and arrested him, taking him to police headquarters, where a breath test for alcohol was administered, Oates said.

Dwyer was held for arraignment Friday in District Court, Providence.
